It's all over but the shouting for "control" of the House. Looks like the GOP will end up with around 221 seats. Now, I say "control" because it's incredibly unlikely that someone like McCarthy can actually control this burlap sack of mad weasels. The biggest issue with a GOP House is both government shutdowns and potential debt default. I think the narrow margins makes it far more likely that the GOP agrees to raise the debt ceiling, though it would be awesome if Democrats would use the lame duck session to stop this stupid game of fiscal chicken. I do think you can find four Republicans out of 221 who don't want to start a global financial crisis.
Also, Kari Lake lost, bringing the record of election deniers to 0 for the entire freaking election. Meanwhile, I finally became popular on Twitter, right as it's dying.
